Thrifty car rental at Houston George Bush Intercntl. Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic does the gear changing for you, while Manual is the standard stick shift. Most rental companies include both.
Fuel policy: Avoid unnecessary costs by booking a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car full and return it full, so you pay only for the fuel you've used.
Mileage limits: Unlimited mileage lets you focus on the journey instead of the odometer. Find this feature under the 'Policies' filter and rack up the miles, not the fees.
Age requirements: Usually, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.
Side of the road: For first-time drivers in the United States, remember that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

Deposits and credit card: Providers usually place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card to secure the rental. Debit cards aren't widely accepted at pickup, so it's best to have credit available.
Insurance: Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but it can save you from paying an expensive excess fee. Check what's covered before you book.
Add ons: Nifty extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera can make your Thrifty car rental easier and more enjoyable.
